Adrian Kempe Set to Join Team Sweden for 2019 IIHF World Championship

Today, Team Sweden announced that their 2019 IIHF World Championship roster is filled with 13 NHL players so far.
Two of those 13 players include brothers Mario and Adrian Kempe. The Kempe brothers will join Team Sweden as they look to defend Sweden's 2018 gold medal finish.

...but this time he'll have his brother along for the ride.

After Sweden's 2018 gold medal win,
Adrian described his experience at the tournament as
"another level. You play against all the best players here, and you play with such good players as well. We had such a great team, too, in the tournament."
Despite his limited experience on with the national team, Adrian still recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in 10 games in the tournament last year.
One of those goals was Sweden's sixth goal in the Championship game last year.

Hopefully, Adrian will continue that production throughout this year's tournament and help Sweden make it back to the Championship game.
Team Sweden will defend their title of IIHF World Champions beginning on May 10 against the Czech Republic.
